One other note about Wilcox. Why does he always struggle in October? I don't understand this, if you look at his win/loss records per month, October stands out as being particularly bad.
I understand September being unusually high due to the gimme's at the beginning of the year, but November is substantially better than October.

23 YARDS RUSHING AT THE HALF AGAINST THE 131st RUN DEFENSE IN THE NATION!
"Cults don't end well. They really don't."
Everything is off with Musgrave. Trick play when power is working, pass when run is working, and run when pass is working. Goes for it on fourth when we should take points. Punts when we should go for it. NEVER uses TE. Never throws the slant or seam or screen when unexpected. Doesn't get Ott wide on pitches. It's just really bad and it underutilizes some really good talent.
I like Wilcox but it has gotten extremely tiresome how 95% of our games are an absolute rock fight for large portions of the game regardless of the opponent. Just one time I would love to see us come out and be up 21-0 after the first quarter and just cruise from there.
Put Mendoza in
i hv been saying this 3 weeks in a row
Musgrave is WAY too comfortable for being a losing coach. he doesnt worry for his job
thats because Wilcox is WAY too comfortable for being a losing coach, he doesnt worry for his job
thats because Knowlton is WAY too comfortable for being a terrible AD with 2 bad revenue programs, he doesnt worry for his job
Carol Christ doesnt understand athletics.

The Big Sky will send us to committee to determine if we qualifyannarborbear said:

This game has no business being a rock fight. Cal should be winning easily. Colorado is epically bad, and we are losing to them.YYCBear said:

Just the way we line up on offense makes me sick to my stomach and that's before the snap.
I took the bears -2 1/2 (end result). I have faith. Go Bears!
The entire UC ecosystem is way to comfortable losing, which is a fireable offense since football is so closely tied to finances. And for them to act like it's not is also a fireable offense.Arcadiabear said:

But the University isn't going to fire Christ because they like Cal losing imo.
Didn't replace QB is the past Zona game. Not gonna happen today either.chunkybear said:

I am told that it takes at least seven years to develop an effective offense, so we are right on target.
we better see some changes now
Couldn't agree more. Tired of playing "lesser" or struggling programs and just not having what it takes to start fast and control the game throughout. Losing/playing competitive games vs teams like Nevada, Sac St, UC-Davis, UNLV is pathetic. Now we're down at half to an 0-5 program in disarray. Totally unacceptable.

Won't happen.
We made great second half changes against AZ. Let's hope we can do it again. Plenty of time left for us to show up.
Buffs OL > Cal OL
Cal secondary best unit on field
Defense doesn't look good coming out of halftime. Hope I'm wrong but I'm seeing some quit.
JB was a Chieftain said:
WRs who drop the ball
RB who has no holes to run through
QB who cant consistently throw a simple ball
OL that can't block anyone
TE who dont exist
Offensive Coordinator who has no imagination
Head Coach who can't coach
We are so horribly predictable and inept that we will be IRRELEVANT for years to come.
This game is the Poster Child for why a top-rated reccruit will not come to CAL.
The landscape has gotten even more competitive given conference power and NIL money.
And we've been going in reverse for years with Wilcox.
That's on Christ.
That's on Knowlton.

To be fair, the Arizona game was that rare game where we were able to maintain a two-possession lead and feel good for most of the game.YYCBear said:

Just to rub it in, Dykes now being talked about as coach of the year.
Should have scooped and scored.

Man could have been a scoop and score, oh well.
Too bad we couldn't scoop that for a score. That may have been our best chance for a td.
Wish he would have tried to pick it up. Defensive TD might be our only chance.
Sirmon Will another great pass defense play, and cal DL with the Monster hit on the QB for the forced fumble
Why did that seem like our first blitz of the season?
the defense is doing their part, but the offense is "offensive"
They brought pressure and they should continue to do that.
Agreed, I would have much rather had the linebacker gone for the scoop and score rather than the Dline just fall on the ball. But, I don't fault him for doing that, that is what they are coached.Grrrrah76 said:

Ott might transfer at the airport.
